Chapter Fourteen

The captain, clearly surprised at having been kissed by what surely appeared to be a smallish male sailor, obviously got over his shock by returning the kiss vigorously.

As the Siren continued her embrace, I saw—or rather felt—what she was up to. With her hands entwined behind the captain’s back, the cunning sea nymph began working me free from her finger.

Once the ring was free, the spell was immediately nullified and I landed hard on the wooden floor, still curled and clutching my bare toes. Hardly a position worthy of a king!

But the captain, apparently not completely lost in the luscious creature’s embrace, immediately spun about at the crashing thud behind him.

“You!” he shouted, his voice rising slightly with confusion and shock. He promptly threw the sea maiden off him. She didn’t go willingly and I saw the lust in her eyes. Apparently, any man would do.

I leaped to my feet—all too aware that I stood as naked as the day I was born—and faced a fully armed, battle-hardened captain. And, apparently, thief. My member, I couldn’t help but notice, had all but shriveled up and disappeared. Maybe that was always its response to an inevitable fight. Disappearing from action to save itself. If so, I agreed with the instinctive action.

“How did you get back here?” he demanded, drawing his narrow scimitar, which, I suspected, he wielded expertly. “Where is Sinbad?”

My mind worked frantically. “He’s here, on board, gathering the men. He’s a hero to them. Much more than you, dung-face. Your ridiculous plan failed.”

He cocked an ear, listening. “I hear of no activity above deck.”

He was in such a position to see up through the hatch, where a short flight of stairs led to the deck. Even I could see a sailor lounging not too far away, enjoying the sun, oblivious.

He turned back to us, holding his sword steady. “I think you lie.”

“We would have given you a hefty share of the profit,” I said.

“Why take a share, when you can have the whole lot?”

“Spoken,” I said, “like a true snake.”

He pointed the tip of his sword toward Sylvie. “And where did you find this fine creature?”

I was backed up against a wall. The simple wooden box containing the magic lamp was under my cot. I could see the corner of it and so far the captain hadn’t gotten his grubby hands on it.

The captain seemed intent on the Siren, for good reason. After throwing her off him, her felt hat and oversized clothing had become partially undone. Some of her female anatomy was partially spilling out. But the captain wasn’t completely enchanted. He advanced toward me, for a snake such as he would first do away with me before pouncing on her.

True, he might not be fully enchanted by her, but I knew of a way he would be, and I decided I had to risk it.

“Sylvie, I want you to sing for him,” I said grimly.

The captain barked with laughter. “Oh, she will sing for me soon enough—and if she values her life, she will do anything else I ask of her.
